In its preferred form, the bag dispensing case of my present inventionpreferably comprises a scored blank defining a pair of side panels, apair of foldable end panels, a bottom panel and a top panel all foldableinto a case body; said top panel including opening-forming means, aninner receptacle for holding a plurality of bags to be dispensed; saidinner receptacle having a trans verse opening therein, together withsupport means for supporting said inner receptacle with its contents inclose proximity to said opening-forming means in said top panel so thatthe opening when formed is in registry with said transverse opening insaid inner receptacle; said support means comprising a pair of opposedupstanding elements merging with a crown section over which said innerreceptacle with its contents is draped, a pair of laterially foldablefia-ps on said upstanding elements, and a pair of opposed flaps on atleast one end of said case body for insertion between said opposedupstanding elements to retain the same against displacement.

A modified embodiment of my present invention preferably comprises acarton consisting of a top panel having a score line therein to affordan elongated opening in said top panel, a bottom panel, a pair of sidepanels merging with said top panel and said bottom panel, a pair of endpanels, and an openable closure on one of said end panels, an innerreceptacle removably disposed in said carton; said inner receptaclehaving a transverse slot therein, a plurality of bags within said innerreceptacle, and a bag supporting member removably disposed within saidcarton; said bag supporting member comprising a scored blank definingwhen folded a pair of side sections, a pair of spaced apart bottomsections seatable on said bottom of said carton, a pair of upstandingelements merging with said bottom sections, a crown section intermediatesaid upstanding elements and a flap on each end of each of saidupstanding elements; said flaps being adapted to be laterally folded tooverlie opposite ends of said upstanding elements and to seat withbearing engage ment with the inner walls of said side panels of saidcarton to retain said bag supporting member against displacement withsaid slot of said inner receptacle in registry with the opening formedin said top panel of said carton whereby individual bags may bedispensed from said inner receptacle through said opening in said toppanel.

As particularly illustrated in FIG. 1 of the annexed drawings, I providea scored blank, designated generally by the reference numeral 10, whichmay be fabricated or formed from any suitable flexible material such aspressed paper or cardboard or the like. The blank 10 When folded and setup, affords a case 11 which is fashioned with a plurality oftransversely extending score lines 12, 13, 14, and 15 upon which theblank may readily be folded so as to define a pair of sides 16 and 17, abottom 18, and a top 19, with the latter scored in the shape of anellipse or elongated oval, as indicated at 21, thus providing an openingforming means in such top panel. In addition to defining the sides,bottom and top panels, the transverse score line 15 permits anadditional fold line for defining a flap 22 on side '17 of the blankwhen set up. A pair of longitudinally extending straight score lines 23and 24 are provided in blank to define the respective and similarlengths of the sides 16 and 17, the bottom 18 and the top 19 of the madeup case; such score lines 23 and 24 also defining specially formed endflaps 26 and 27 on side 16, as well as specially formed end flaps 28 and29 on side 17, and specially formed end flaps 31 and 32 on bottom 18, aswell as specially formed flaps 33 and 34 on top 19 of the made up case11. In addition, a short score or fold line 36 is delineated in flap 28of side 17, as well as a short score line 37 is provided in flap 29 ofside 17 to afford tabs 38 and 39, respectively, on such side 17. Anothershort score line 41 is provided in end flap 27 of side 16 of the made upcase to form a tab 42 thereon.

In assembling or setting up case 11, the bottom 18 is laid upon a flator planar surface and side 12 is afforded by folding the blank 10 on thescore line 12. The blank is then folded on score line 13 and the toppanel 19 brought over the upper port-ion to lie parallel to bottom panel18. Moreover, the blank 10 is then folded on lines 14 and to form theside 17 and also to provide a tuck-in by means of flap 22 on formed side17; such tuck-in preferably being cemented to the bottom panel 18. Bymeans of a short'score line 43 in the fiap 22 at one end thereof, ashort tab 44 is provided which conveniently is cemented to an end flapas hereinafter explained. Before closing the various end flaps definedby the score or fold lines 23 and 24, reference will be made to thecontents of the dispensing case 11 when assembled and ready for use. Asindicated hereinabove, the case 11 is devised for dispening one at atime, or singly, a plurality of bags designated generally by thereference number 46, see FIG. 4 of the annexed drawings. As shown, Iprovide a plurality of the bags 46 which may be 100 thereof, or 250 oreven 500 thereof and place them in an inner receptacle 47 having atransverse slit 48 therein at its approximate longitudinal center.Preferably, the receptacle 47 is a polyethylene container and each ofthe bags 46 preferably is a polyethylene garbage or other disposal bag.The container 47 is designated herein as an inner receptacle inasmuch asit is disposed within the case 11 for individual withdrawal of bagstherefrom.

In FIG. 3 of the annexed drawings, I have illustrated a case insert orbag supporting member 50 which is set up as hereinafter explained forintroduction and disposal within the case 11 and so arranged inconnection with inner receptacle 47 that the latter with its contents ofpolyethylene garbage bags is draped over the insert with the transverseslit 48 of receptacle 47 aligned or in registry with the elongatedopening 49 of the case 11 when the top panel 19 thereof is opened alongthe score line 21. By insertion of the hand through opening 49 as wellas aligned opening or slit 48 of inner receptacle 47, individual garbagebags 46 can be grasped and withdrawn singly through opening 49 in thetop 19 of the case 11.

The bag supporting member comprises a blank 50 of cardboard or paperboard which is transversely scored on lines 51, 52, 53, 54 and 56 todefine when folded on such score lines a pair of side sections 57 and 58at opposite ends of the blank 50, a pair of bottom sections 59 and 60which seat on the bottom of the case 11 when the insert is disposedtherein, as well as a pair of opposed upstanding elements 61 and 62which define at the merging tops thereof a crown section 63 constitutinga longitudinally extneding ridge, see FIG. 5. In addition, I provideupon the insert blank 50 a pair of end bearing flaps 64 and 65 byextending the elements 62. and 62 providing score lines 66 and 67 sothat the end bearing flaps 64 and 65 can be folded to positions normalto the lengths of the upstanding opposed elements 61 and 62 when theinsert or bag support member is set up within the case 11. It may beobserved here, that in assembling the inner receptacle 47 and the bagsupporting member 50, I first fill the receptacle 47 with bags 46 to bedispensed and heatseal the receptacle 4750 that it is closed-at'bothends as well as along its sides. The receptacle 47 is then laid upon theblank 50 with the slit 48 uppermost. The blank 50, with the innerreceptacle 47 and its contents of bags 46, is then folded on the scorelines 51 and 56 to bring up the sides 57 and 58 and simultaneously todefine bottom sections 59 and 60. The blank is again folded on the scorelines 52 and 54 to bring to upstanding opposed positions the elements 61and 62, asshown in FIG. 5, which provides the intermediate crown section63. In this operation, the contained bags 46 and inner reeeptacle47 isfolded and approximately.,.the center portion of the receptacle 47 isdraped over the crown section 63 of the insert with the slit 48s't'retched wider and in alignmen with opening 49 defined by tearing out the toppanel 19 of the case 11 along score line 21. Folds of the receptacle 47with folded bags 46lie between-one side section 57 and upstandingelement 61 as well, as between the other side section .58 and upstandingelement 62. Upon insertion of this bundle of bags 46, within innerreceptacle 47, and the insertsupport member constituting the foldedblank 50, into the case 11, one end of the up,- standing elements 61 and62 will abutthe end flaps closing one end of case 11, with the other endof the upstanding elements 61 and 62 abutting the turned over. bearingflaps 64 and 65 extending beyond the elements 61 and 62.

In accordance with the present invention, after the insert folded blank50 hasgbeen disposed within case 11 with its folded bags 46 within innerreceptacle 47, and after the bearing flaps 64 and 65 have been foldedagainst the adjacent end of upstanding elements'61 and 62, the end flapsof the case per se are then folded. While the end flaps 32 and 34 on thesame ends of bottom 18 and top 19 may be single flaps, these end flapsmay be provided in two pieces each, designated 32, 32a and 34, 34a inFIG. 1 of the annexed drawings. When folded into operative positions onabove line 24, see FIG. 5, the flaps 32, 32a, 34 and 34a will overliethe bearing flaps 64, 65 of the insert supporting member 50 with suchbearing flaps 64 and 65 so turned that their outer edges 64 and 65engage and bear against the inner walls of the sides 16 and 17 adjacentto the corresponding end of the case firmly to retain the insertsupporting member 50 against displacement. This positioning of bearingflaps 64 and 65 within the case 11 provides a space 71 therebetween,herein termed a first transverse space, into which are fitted the tabs39 and 42 of end flaps '29 and 27, respectively, on the correspondingends of such sides, after such flaps 29 and 27 have been folded onscore'line 24. This folding of end fiaps 29 and 27, together with the 39and 42, respectively, entered into the first transverse space 71 betweenbearing flaps 64 and 65 of the insert 50 further strengthens the case 11and further prevents displacement of the contents of the case duringshipment as well as when in bag dispensing use. The tabs 39 and 42 alsoenter an underlying second transverse space 72 which is afforded betweenthe upstanding elements 61 and 62 of the supporting member 50 to preventany dislodgement of such elements. p I

It may be mentioned here that'prior to loading case 11 with the innerreceptacle 47 and its contents of individual bags 46 draped over thecrown 63 of the insert supporting member 50, I turn in the flap 22 ofside 17 and cement or otherwise adhesively secure such flap 22 to thebottom 18 of the case. Theendtab 44 on flap 22 is left unsecured untilthe case 11 is closed at the corresponding end thereof by first foldinginwardly on score line 23' the end flaps 31 and 33 of the bottom 18 andtop 19 of the case at which time the tab 44 is cemented to the inside ofthe bottom end flap31 adjacent'to the folded over section 17 defining aside flap; Thereafter the end flap 26 of side 16 is folded on line 23 tooverlie portions of the folded end flaps 31 and 33 of the bottom 18andtop 19.,'respectively. It is to be noted here .that end flaps 31 and33 are cut away in opposite directions so that when folded down intoclosure position a relatively wide space remains; such wide space beinglargely covered by the corresponding end flap 26 on side 16 of the casebut nevertheless leaving a relatively narrow space, indicated at 73provided by the cut-out section 74 of such end flap 26. The relaitvelynarrow space 73 thus afforded by the closure folding of end flaps 26overlies or is in registry with the second transverse space 72 betweenthe upstanding elements 61 and 62 of bag supporting member 50. Theclosure of case 11 is completed by the folding of end flap 28 on scoreline 23 to bring such end flap into overlying relation with theremaining portions of the end flaps 31 and 33 on the bottom 18 and top19, respectively of the case, and the further folding of tab 38 on scoreline 36 of the end flap 28 and the insertion of such tab 38 into theopening or space 73 aiforded between end flap 26 and the underlying endflaps 31 and 33, as well as into the second transverse space 72 affordedbetween the upstanding elements 61 and 62 of the insert supportingmember 50 within the case 11.

The end closure inner and outer flaps of the case 11 actually effect aninterlock with the contained bag supporting insert 50 inasmuch as suchend flaps coact with the insert to afford bearing engagement not onlywith respect to the inner walls of the case but also with one another.As indicated above, the end flaps 64 and 65 of the upstanding elements61 and 62 of insert 50 engage and are in bearing engagement with theinner walls of the sides 16 and 17 of case 11, and such end fiaps 64 and65 when folded into operative positions are in bearing engagement withan end of insert 50 per se. Further, when the tabs 39 and 42 of theouter end flaps 29 and 27 overying inner end flaps 32, 32a, 34 and 34aare tucked in or inserted into the first transverse space 71 between theend flaps 64 and 65 of insert 50 and second transverse space 72 betweenthe upstanding elements 61 and 62 of bag supporting insert 50, there isafforded additional bearing engagement between the end flaps 29 and 27,and the insert 50, per se, as well as an interlock therebetween.Similarly, at the opposite end of case 11, the folding over of the innerfirst pair of end flaps 31 and the inner second pair of end flaps 33 ofthe botom 18 and top 19, respectively, of the case with the tab 44 ofside flap 22 secured to the inner side of flap 31, together with thefolding of the outer flaps 26 and 28 to overlie the flaps 31 and 33 andthe tucking in of tab 38 into the space 73, defined by flaps 31, 33 and26, and second transverse space 72, afforded between upstanding elements61 and 62 of bag supporting insert 50, effects an interlock at suchopposite end of case 11. The two interlocks between the case 11 and thebag supporting insert 50 affords a rigid case capable of withstandingextraneous forces and also effectively prevents shifting of the load inshipping of the case as well as during bag-withdrawal use of thedispensing case.

A modified embodiment of my present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 7and 8 of the annexed drawings. In this modification, any suitable caseor carton, designated by the reference numeral 111, may be provided fordispensing of bags of predetermined dimensions; such carton convenientlybeing fabricated from pressed paper, paper board or cardboard, asdesired, and conveniently being provided with a foldable closure 112having a tuck-in flap 113 to one end thereof. The carton 111 when setupaffords a pair of sides 116, and 117, a bottom 118, and a top 119, andsuch top panel 119 is formed with an elongated generally ellipticalscore line 121 therein to provide opening-forming means therein.

The modified carton is adapted to dispense singly a plurality of bags,such as garbage disposal bags, in the same manner as the preferredembodiment of the invention dispenses bags 46 contained in a receptacle47 having a transverse slit 48 therein, all removably disposed withinthe carton along with a bag supporting member which holds the innerreceptacle 47 in such manner as to prevent shifting thereof as Well asits contents of bags.

In accordance with my present invention, the modified embodimentillustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 includes a bagsupporting member fordisposal within carton 111 along with .the inner receptacle 47 and itsplurality of contained bags. In this modification, the bag-supportingmember 150 preferably is formed with a series of transverse score lines151, 152, 153, 154 and 156 to define when folded on such score lines apair of side sections 157 and 158 at opposite ends of the blank 150, apair of bottom sections 159 and 160 which merge with side sections 157and 158, respectively, and which seat upon the bottom 118 of carton 111when the bag-supporting member is disposed in the carton in operativeposition, as well as a pair of upstanding elements 161 and 162 whichdefine at the merging tops thereof a crown section 163 constituting alongitudinally extending ridge, see FIG. 8, over which the innerreceptacle 47 is draped and by which the receptacle 47 and its contentsof bags 46 are supported with the transverse slot 48 thereof, alignedwith an opening 149 in top panel 119 of carton 111 when a portion ofsuch top panel within the score line 121 is removed. The blank 150 isscored longitudinally at the upstanding elements 161 and 162 and isextended at both ends of said elements to define when folded laterallyon such longitudinal score lines, a pair of flaps 1'64 and 164' onelement 161, as Well as a pair of flaps 165 and 165' on the element 162.The scored blank 150 is first laid out on a planar surface and the innerreceptacle 47 is laid thereon with its contents of a plurality ofindividual bags 46 and with the transverse slot 48 of receptacle 47presented to the top. The entire blank 150, together with receptacle 47and its contents, is then folded 0n the transverse score lines 151, 152,153, 154 and 157 to provide the side sections 157, 158 as well as bottomsections 159 and 160, Well as upstanding elements 161 and 162 and isdisposed within carton 111 through an open end thereof, and the cartonend closed by folding closure 112 and tucking in flap 113 thereof. Thisdisposal of bag supporting member or folded blank 150 positions the slot48 over the crown section 163 of supporting member 150 and in alignmentwith the opening 149 of carton 111 formed by removing the portion of toppanel 119 within the score line 121. The modified embodiment iscompleted by first laterally folding the end flaps 164 and 164' ofupstanding elements 161 to have the outer ends of such flaps 164 and 164in bearing engagement with the inner walls of the sides 116 and 117 ofthe carton 111, as shown in FIG. 8. The other end flaps 165 and 165 arelaterally folded before slipping the blank 150 into the carton so thatthe outer ends of such flaps will be in bearing engagement, not shown,with the inner walls of the side panels 116 and 117 at the opposite endof carton 111 from that shown in FIG. 8. This bearing engagement of thefour end panels 164, 164', 165 and 165' against the inner walls of theside panels of the carton as well as against the ends of the upstandingelements 161 and 162 effectively prevents the shifting of innerreceptacle 47 and its contents of bags 46.
